Cavus Foot & High Arches
Depending on your symptoms and daily activities, you may need custom orthotics or insoles. Here's what you should consider:
When Orthotics or Insoles are Recommended
- Pain Relief: If you experience pain in the ball, heel, or arch of the foot.
- Support and Cushioning: High arches can lead to extra pressure on the ball of the heel of the foot. These can provide less pressure and distribute weight more evenly.
- Stability: Custom orthotics can help improve stability, balance, and reduce ankle instability.
- Prevention: Orothics can reduce the chances of developing calluses, corns, or stress fractures.
Types of Insoles or Orthotics
- Over-the-Counter Insoles: Affordable and effective for mild cases.
- Custom Orthotics: These molded foot forms will address specific pain issues, alignment, and gait.
